What is Autism?
An autism spectrum disorder, more commonly called ASD or autism, is a developmental condition that varies widely in the type and severity of symptoms. For instance, the autism spectrum includes childhood disintegrative disorder, which delays the development of language, motor skills, and social functions. Other common forms of the condition present themselves as challenges with nonverbal communication and social development. In each case, the severity of the condition will vary from one person to another. However, when your child receives this diagnosis, it can offer a significant challenge both to them and to their family members.
The symptoms of autism include:
- Non-verbal and verbal communication problems
- Repetitive behaviors
- Problems making friends
- Delayed development of life skills
- Inability to control muscle movements
As a result of these symptoms, your child may have trouble connecting to others and completing daily tasks, causing frustration and violence in some cases. Without the proper support and education, parents may feel that their child’s condition is taking a toll on a variety of aspects of life.
